Theatrical Ghost Tour of Underground Edinburgh
Discover why Edinburgh is the most haunted city in the world by going deep into the haunted underground vaults and visiting Greyfriars Kirkyard at night…are you brave enough?
Theatrical Ghost Tour of Underground Edinburgh
What secrets hide in the depths of the Scottish capital? To find out, we'll meet at the indicated time at the intersection of High and Cockburn streets. There, a character dressed in strange clothes awaits to guide us through the gloomy and dreary atmosphere of the Edinburgh Vaults.
We'll explore the surroundings, corners and underworld of the Royal Mile, while above ground, unaware of the bleak universe under their feet, the living are enjoying their time having a pint or shopping in some of the trendiest fashion shops. Not you. The main thoroughfare in Edinburgh holds terrible secrets in its entrails.
Throughout this dramatized tour, learn all about the most shocking stories that have very little legend in them, as they are historically documented. What secrets will be unveiled? Only the brave will find out, as we enter the city's infamous underground passages.
When your eyes become accustomed to the crypt’s dim lighting and its strange noises and smells, we'll head to Greyfriars Kirkyard, Edinburgh's haunted cemetery. In the graveyard rest (or are trapped in a restless sleep) the remains of distinguished and not so distinguished citizens, whose distressed eternal rest has resulted in numerous paranormal phenomena over the centuries. We'll reveal the most noteworthy stories before retracing our steps.
After a tour of an hour and 15 minutes, we'll conclude the tour by returning to the meeting point. And if you see something strange during the tour, it'll have been the fruit of your guileless and susceptible imagination….or not.
